History
Established in 1984.
Robert B. Jaffe, Ph.D, LMFT, has been working as a licensed therapist in Encino, California since 1984. He holds a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Laverne and a Doctorate in Philosophy and Hypnotherapy from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy. His many years working in the community and his extensive academic training have established Dr. Jaffe as a seasoned and experienced therapist.
Although he already has sufficient training in his field, Dr. Jaffe strives to remain aware and knowledgeable of contemporary research pertinent to his practice and, more so, to his clients. As new information emerges through contemporary research, he strives to incorporate new and emerging information as it is relevant. When able, he travels to conferences and seeks out experts for the best training and information possible.
Meet the Business Owner: Dr. Robert J.
Dr. Jaffe primarily works with adults and adolescents over the age of 12. He works with clients experiencing a variety of symptoms and circumstances, though he does have several areas of specialty. These areas include trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and addictions (alcohol, substance use, and process addiction, such as gambling and sex). These issues often cause clients to experience relationship difficulties, either with family, friends, employers, or partners and spouses. As important as relationships are, Dr. Jaffe has chosen to include relationship issues as one of his specialties. Unfortunately, our difficulties in one area do not stay compartmentalized, but tend to bleed into other parts of our lives. As a result, Dr. Jaffe utilizes a holistic approach and tailors every session to meet the unique needs of the client he is helping.
